At the age of 13 he began part time construction work with his Dad in a local union. He traveled the U.S. building Nuclear Power Plants and working other commercial jobs. At a very early age alcohol was a very big part of his life. By 18 he was an alcoholic and a drug addict. His love of Harley Davidson motorcycles was at its peak. When Mark was 21 he was working on a job where a Christian man shared the love of Jesus Christ with him. Mark took the man's advice and felt the calling of God in his heart and was saved. After six short months Mark back-slid into his old lifestyle. And as the Bible says, he became seven times worse. His alcohol and drug addiction multiplied. There were many visits to jail, drunken driving incidents, motorcycle and car accidents. He said he still felt God's presence.

In 1984 Mark came home from the Alaskan pipeline with a knee injury. During his 2 year rehabilitation he met a woman who helped change his life. He rededicated his life to the Lord Jesus Christ. He then married Sharon Rose, this special woman the Lord had sent him. Not wanting to go back to this lifestyle in construction he prayed and asked God for a talent. He prayed to become an artist. God met the desires of Mark's heart. He started his first business as a wood carver, called "Tree People". Then he began Biker Art in which he created his own line of biker lifestyle art. Since the has also sculpted several pieces for the motorcycle giant, Harley-Davidson.

At this point in his life, Mark has started what he believes to be the God's calling on his artwork, "Eden Productions" A line of Christian sculptures which depict biblical truths and Christian values. On exhibit at "New Life Church" in Colorado Springs, is one of Mark's 10’ angel sculptures, titled "Exalter". Mark has produced at least 500 solid bronze sculptures.
